Basketball super recruit and Michigan State target Jabari Parker will announce his college decision Dec. 20 -- and his father believes it will come down to Duke and MSU.

"He hasn't told me where," Sonny Parker told USA Today of his son, a 6-foot-7 small forward and senior at Chicago Simeon. "I didn't ask him. It's kind of hard to say. He's like all the schools we've visited. He's hard to read sometimes. He keeps things to himself, so I don't put any pressure on him. I think it will probably be be between Duke and Michigan State. That's what I'm thinking."

Parker also is considering Duke, Florida, BYU and Stanford.

He is a consensus top-three recruit in the nation and considered a potential top-five pick in the 2014 NBA draft.

Michigan State has no players committed to the recruiting class that will enroll next fall.
